Growing up Southern is a privilege, really. It's more than where you're born - it's an idea, a state of mind that seems imparted at birth. It's more than loving fried chicken, sweet tea, high school football, beer, country music, and acoustic guitars. It's being hospitable, being devoted to front porches, magnolias, the good Lord, and each other. We don't become Southern - we're born that way.

Products I'm Loving Right Now!

So, I haven't done one of these posts in awhile...



Paul Mitchell Extra-Body Daily Shampoo **
I've been using Aveda's Shampure shampoo line for at least a decade now. However, I really like this shampoo. I think I'm going to keep using it from here on out. Not to mention, you get a little more than the Aveda, and it's cheaper.

I'm loving, LOVING this palette. My parents got this for me for Xmas from Sephora. I couldn't bring myself to pay this much for some eyeshadow. I was WRONG to not buy it! This palette is totes worth it. No joke. I would pay full price for it. I plan to ask for the Naked Palette 2 for Valentine's Day:)


Hana Shine Shield Therapy **
This kind of reminds me of the product BioSilk I used to use back in the day. I use this daily now. A little bit goes a long way! This really does help with the heat damage, and it gives my hair a great shine! It leaves it feeling soft as well. I dry my hair most days, and I feel like it doesn't feel as dry since I've been using this product. 
 Cover FX's Conceal FX 
in light
I think I may have posted about this before, and this concealer is like THE HOLY GRAIL OF CONCEALERS in my book. Maybe one day when I'm feeling brave, I'll post a half and half shot of my face. I'll post the half where you can see the melasma and the red marks from picking (i'm a picker) and the other half of my face where I cover said problems up. It's AWESOME!

For a couple of year's I was using Halo's root pump and liked it. I used this on days when I didn't feel like blowing drying my hair. I just toss some of this in to enhance my natural waves. Then, one day a light bulb went off, and I used it as a root enhancer. [cue: angels singing and beams from heaven shining down]. AWESOME! It's really light and gives a great lift. I have fine, thin hair so I gotta use product. Love this stuff. I use it E.V.E.R.Y. s.i.n.g.l.e. D.a.Y.

 
I'm pretty sure I have this in Rose Quartz or Rose Garnet. This stuff is no joke. It stays on! I use this whenever I'm going to a function where I'm going to be out for awhile or to a party or stuff like that. It does make my lips dry, so I don't use it for everyday use.  

Color: Wet
This is the lip gloss that I use for everyday use. I love this color!!! VS describes it as a beige-brown. It's a neutral color on my lips so it looks pretty natural. I'll be sad if they ever discontinue this color!

**These products were sent along with the two items I reviewed for Misikko, and I had no idea they were going to be in there. They did not ask me to review the items, nor was I financially compensated or compensated at all for reviewing them in this post. I just really like them:) 

With that being said, none of the other items were given to me or asked to review. All thoughts in this post are my own, original musings!
